Currently it's bitterly cold. º2 with -º18 windchill. It's so cold that the weather covering I have over my central AC unit in the back of the house is breaking off in pieces. Sunday and Monday are supposed to be worse. Will hate to see the heating bill. Living in a warmer state sounds better every year.

Temperature is 4 with a wind chill of negative 15. Can't wait to get out there to do my shops. I received a phone call from a scheduler about doing gas station shops this weekend. I declined- they don't pay anywhere near enough with below zero wind chill.

Subzero temperatures are expected here as well. They are talking about cancelling school again. Yesterday we finally had enough snow to try some sledding though you still could see the grass. I'm already going crazy with those so called 'snow days' they have around here. It was too funny. There was one county where they decided that their roads are clear and school is on. The local channels sent news crews out to see how it works out. The parents were outraged and were talking about how irresponsible it was to endanger their childrens lives. For those of you, who live north of us. There would have been no excuse for you not to have your child at school. By Chicago measures, it was a mild winter day. We get one inch, the roads are clear, but people fear for their lives.
